The cost of many “services” from Real Estate to Funerals, from Tax preparation to Accounting, have been or will be simplified or made less expensive by computer technology, the Internet and a little common sense.

It all boils down, once again, to the concept that knowlege is power, and that those who make thier living providing “services” (and playing on the emotions of others) often like to cloud thier industries in mystery to avoid exactly what’s happening in the “Casket Market” today.

We live in an age, where it is perfectly possible to walk into an automobile dealership and purchase a vehicle for 80,000 through a slaes agent and yet require seemingly endless streams of real estate agents, lawyers and such to purchase property worth less than half that amount.

“For your protection.” “Your family deserves the best.” “It’s really in your best interests.” is just another way of saying Bend over buddy, here it comes.
